Has it been confirmed that Male pokemon can transfer hidden abilities? I have been breeding a lot and the hidden ability from my male poke is not transferring.

Yes, males transferring Hidden Abilities has been confirmed. Are you breeding with Ditto? If you're breeding with Ditto, the Hidden Ability won't transfer. You need to breed the Pokemon with something in its Egg Group that isn't Ditto.

From my experience of breeding a Male Protean Frogadier with a standard Ditto it is definitely confirmed, it came out to be around 75% hidden ability eggs with a sample size of about 6 full boxes.

What is that area above route 22? There's a track with footprints. I always thought it was the victory league but it is not.

It's the entrance to victory road.

I've been using Male Espurr with it's hidden ability and a female without it. I guess I might try with ditto?

On wil/caught Cubone and Farfetch'd

Is there any other way? I suspected this and caught 5 cubone, but none had thick club. I could use thief, but cubone are somewhat rare, at least it takes me a while to find them.

I did a battle in Battle Mansion, I beat my rival and then I met with Sycamore in Anistar City.
However, I still don't have access to the other Mega Stones, such as Medichamite or Tyranite

Am I missing something?

You can only find them between 8pm and 9pm.

Where do I get the Sun Stone and the Dusk Stone?

Sun Stone is the Enigmatic Stone; take it to the guy who dropped something in Shalour City.

Dusk Stone can be obtained in Terminus Cave and from the Flare Grunt in Laverre City after beating Team Flare.

The only thing you can do ingame with Pokemiles is buying items from the pokemiles vendor.
You can buy the exact same items from the pokemon global link website with your pokedollars, the purchased items will be delivered to you when you next visit a pokemon center after the next game sync.
Thanks. Have you used the new Global Link? Is it possible to change your username there? Also, do gen 5 games still have ability to connect to global link?

I have a question. I received a japanese ditto via GTS. I'm breeding it with a USA dragonair and the ditto is holding destiny knot. Would that effect the masuda method, the ditto holding that item. I know it takes a while to get the shiny pokemon even with the masuda method but it's way more likely you will get it this way then any other way via breeding.

Ok so if I have a male eevee with anticipation and a female eevee with run away breed, and I give the female an everstone, does that mean theres a 50% chance I will get an egg with the same nature as the female, as well as still having a chance that the egg has anticipation?

Everstone now passes nature 100% of the time.

There would be a chance of getting the hidden ability, as well.
